The Whole Internet is Shipping Me with My Ex-Boyfriend-Chapter 347: He Plots Evil Intentions (3)

Quan Yin’s friend, inevitably falling into the mundane, spoke highly of Gu Yuan, particularly impressed by how a woman led the Gu Family for all these years, earning his sincere admiration.

Quan Yin had met Gu Yuan several times, always exchanged nods and greeted briefly, without much conversation.

In a family like the Quan Family, her ability to enter was her own merit. Moreover, with her mother’s support, her ambition to leap into the Quan Family faced no hurdles, as long as Quan Jin liked her. A wedding would clarify to everyone that she was the new granddaughter-in-law of the Quan Family.

Perhaps it was too smooth, not everything goes as planned.

Due to an accident, Quan Jin lost his memory.

He cleanly forgot the woman called Gu Yuan, and everything related to her.

People in the Quan Family had varied thoughts, but with his mother present, there were no disparaging remarks. They simply waited to see a joke, questioning whether she could still enter the Quan Family.

Initially, Quan Yin thought that she, a capable businesswoman, was likely more interested in the idea of business and politics mingling, achieving a social jump, thus bearing a daughter to tie Quan Jin down.

But due to a twist of fate, Quan Jin forgot her, turning all her calculations to dust.

Thinking about this, Quan Yin couldn’t help but chuckle.

The Buddha Beads in his hand exuded a sandalwood fragrance. Quan Yin sat quietly, listening to the Heart Sutra before lying down to rest. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

The next day.

Quan Yin got up early.

Upon going downstairs, he saw a cheerful little figure hopping around. As he walked over, Suisui, noticing the approaching stranger, paused, standing still, with big eyes staring at him for a long while before asking, "Are you a new friend?"

Quan Yin raised an eyebrow.

It wasn’t his first time seeing this little girl; it should be the second time.

Last time, he saw her from afar in Quan Jin’s arms. Back then, Quan Jin cherished the little girl dearly, carrying her everywhere and forbidding others from peeking.

"What’s your name?" Quan Yin asked, knowing it was a rhetorical question, trying to appear polite and friendly in front of the little girl.

Suisui said, "Mommy doesn’t let me tell others my name freely."

Quan Yin laughed, the extent of his smile even unbeknownst to him: "I’m not an outsider, I’m your..."

Suddenly realizing, at thirty-five, he was now considered a granduncle.

This...

Better let it go!

Quan Yin truly didn’t want to admit he was getting old.

"Who are you to me?" Suisui curiously pursued the question.

Quan Yin had no choice but to say, "I’m your elder. Your dad’s a scoundrel. In the future, remember to give me the respect you owe him, got it?"

Suisui listened, half understanding: "What does respect mean?"

Quan Yin lifted the corners of his mouth, still not good at interacting with children.

Something drew near him, even leaning against him; Quan Yin looked down to see the little girl tiptoeing to touch his hand.

The little girl was too small to reach, so Quan Yin bent down, offering his hand: "Do you want the Buddha Beads I’m wearing?"

Suisui nodded, her starry eyes sparkling.

Quan Yin chuckled: "These things aren’t something a kid like you should touch, they’re dangerous."

Not understanding what dangerous meant, but since mommy said danger was something to stay away from, Suisui turned and ran, her little feet quick, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Quan Yin paused and laughed uncontrollably.

Gu Yuan saw this scene clearly, and Quan Yin already sensed her presence. When she approached, he nodded politely.

Gu Yuan casually asked, "Is Mr. Quan getting accustomed to staying at the Gu Mansion?"

It was all small talk, like a routine inquiry.

Quan Yin couldn’t help but smile, pondering if she really decided not to involve herself with the Quan Family anymore, as she hadn’t visited Yanjing for months to see Quan Jin, nor agreed to bring the little girl there, or if there was another plan in mind.

"The Gu Mansion has everything, just lacks a bit of warmth," Quan Yin joked.

"I don’t have many relatives around," Gu Yuan didn’t mind saying this in front of Quan Yin, "and I’m quite busy myself, as long as the housekeeper and nanny take care of my daughter, preventing the house from being too quiet, it’s fine."

"Miss Gu lives particularly clear-headedly," Quan Yin gave a fair comment.

Gu Yuan smiled faintly: "No, I just live too simply."

Quan Yin raised his eyebrows.

Gu Yuan lowered her eyes, her expression faint, not allowing Quan Yin to see, softly saying, "Why force oneself into a dead end, the road has its direction, people have their path, one can’t just look at the road beneath their feet, but must look ahead."
